MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE AREA TODAY AS
SHORTWAVE RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE REGION. A FEW SPRINKLES OR
ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST IN THE
AFTERNOON, THOUGH THE CHANCE IS LOW (LESS THAN 15%). AS A TROUGH
PUSHES INLAND INTO THE THE PAC NW, A LOW LEVEL JET LOOKS TO SET UP
OVER THE EAST TONIGHT, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND
PERHAPS A THUNDERSTORM, THOUGH THE BEST CHANCES ARE INTO NORTHEAST
MT.
AS THE UPPER TROUGH PUSHES INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TUESDAY,
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP, CONTINUING THROUGH
MUCH OF THE WEEK AHEAD. OCCASIONAL SHORTWAVES DROPPING THROUGH THE
REGION WILL BRING DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
GREATEST ON TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT (40-90% CHANCE). BREEZY WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS COULD MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AT TIMES AS WELL.
TEMPERATURES MAY BE COOL ENOUGH FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW IN THE HIGH
COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AND THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND. THIS INCLUDES THE BEARTOOTH HWY. THOSE WITH RECREATION
PLANS IN THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE FORECAST. THE
CHANCE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LOOKS TO REMAIN LOW THROUGH THE
WEEK, WITH THE BETTER CHANCE EAST OF THE AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE
FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE 70S TO NEAR 80 DEGREES TODAY AND THE
LOWER 70S TO LOWER 80S TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES THEN DROP INTO THE
60S TO MIDDLE 70S FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. STP
